Chapter 297: The Negotiation

Just by looking at his expression, it was clear that he was not hiding anything or lying to her. Nevertheless, she could not help but ask subconsciously, "Who are you really?"

Henry was a little surprised by the question. But still, he did not show anything on his face. Looking at Nancy, he asked back, "Are you not being genuine enough when it comes to the introduction? You already possess much information about me and my group, but for you, I don’t really know much about you. Even when it comes to your appearance, I don’t really know how you look like behind that mask."

Nancy had asked the question out of impulse, and she regretted asking that question not long after. And after hearing what Henry had said, she finally understood. It was true, what he was saying was true.

In this situation, not only was Henry stronger than she was, but at this point, she already possessed information about him, but he possessed very little information about her. Additionally, until now, there was nobody that had seen her appearance.

From the very start of the apocalypse, she made sure to hide her face. As for the reason, only she herself knew about it. But nevertheless, whoever it was that had encountered her, they had never seen her face directly.

"Forget about that for now. Now back to what you were saying. Is the source of the information valid? I hope that it is not some kind of false information that might end up causing trouble for us." Nancy waved her hand in dismissal, before she finally spoke about what Henry had said previously.

"Do you think that I would come here with information that I’m not sure about? Even if this information is not true, you know, the apocalypse has to be taken seriously. This is the time for the battle for domination.

In this city of yours, there are only zombies. But let me tell you in advance, there are other races that have invaded our world. So, if you believe that we are going to fight against the zombies only, then you are wrong.

During the third stage of the apocalypse, although I am not sure about what is going to happen, but I do know one thing, the danger that is going to come is definitely going to be higher than the one that we experienced during the second stage." Henry stated with a solemn expression on his face.

During the time that the second stage of the apocalypse came, had it not been for the fact that Henry had gotten an advantage where there was a dungeon that he had used to improve his strength, he would have definitely been the one that was going to suffer.

After all, the dark race had decided to send members of their race that were of a higher power level, rather than sending a higher quantity. Although he himself had not participated in the battle, he had already received the information of the outcome of the battle.

And at that time, the system did not give him any kind of warning. But right now, he had received a warning from the system, claiming that the third stage of the apocalypse was something that was going to be dangerous.

So, even he himself was completely cautious. And had it not been for the fact that he did not possess gold rank mutation crystals, he would have already purchased several items from the system that would be able to boost his strength.

Looking at Henry’s expression, Nancy’s expression also became solemn. She understood one thing, Henry was not here to joke around with her. Although she was not sure about where he had gotten the information, but she decided to give him the benefit of doubt.

In any case, it was not as if she did not know about the third stage of the apocalypse. It was just that she was not sure about the time that the third stage of the apocalypse was going to descend. And right now, it seemed that it was going to be sooner considering that Henry seemed to be so sure about what he was saying.

"Okay. I’m going to start making preparations. So, about the other thing, what is it?" Nancy nodded her head. In any case, even if the information was not true, it was not as if she was going to suffer any loss if she became prepared.

Other than the third stage of the apocalypse, there were the zombies that were in the city. The recent move made by the zombies was completely suspicious to her. So, she believed that there had to be someone or something that was manipulating the zombies.

Perhaps this was one of the signs that the third stage of the apocalypse was about to descend?

"The other matter that I wanted to talk about is cooperation. I’m going to help you in the preparation for the third stage of the apocalypse. And other than that, I’m going to help you in unifying this entire city. Those other territories that are present are going to be taken over by you." Henry stated calmly.

Nancy blinked her eyes as she looked at Henry, wondering if he was joking. But looking at him, it was clear that what he had said was what he meant.

"Are you sure about what you’re saying? No, forget about that, how are you even going to improve the strength of my territory?" Nancy asked after a moment of silence.

"I have my own methods. But for me to do something like that, you will be the one that will be providing the resources. As for me, I will be using my skills and abilities in order to be able to improve the strength of your territory." Henry simply shook his head as he responded.

Nancy furrowed her brows as she looked at Henry. Although currently Henry was not wearing an armor, and just a casual shirt, but she could remember clearly the armor he was putting on during the time that the zombies were attacking.

He was not the only one considering that everyone else in the team other than Sarah was putting on the armor. And the quality of the armors was the top one that they had seen until now. It was so rare that it had taken a lot of effort to be able to procure the current armors that were present in the territory.

Such high level armors could cause a war to erupt within the city, as several territories competed on who was going to take the equipment.

"What are you going to gain from this?" Nancy asked.

"For now, there is nothing that I’m going to ask from you. I’m pretty sure that even if there’s something that I can ask for from you, I already possess it, or I don’t even need it. So, I’m going to keep that for later, and you can take it as if you owe me a favor." Henry responded.

Before he came over, he had already thought about this matter. Of course, it was not as if he was going to help Nancy for nothing. Nancy had to pay for the assistance that she was going to receive from him.

Nancy of course did not like this. By owing Henry a favor, the value of this favor was definitely going to increase as time went on. Additionally, the stronger she became, and the stronger Henry became, the higher the value of the favor that she was going to owe him.

And to say the truth, she never liked owing others favors. That was something that she had been keeping in mind ever since the very start of the apocalypse.

And of course, another thing that she did not like was the fact that Henry stated that there was nothing that she could offer right now. But although she was not satisfied with what he had said, she understood that what he was saying was actually true.

Currently, at this stage of the apocalypse, all that mattered was strength. So, when it came to the power level, it was clear that Henry was above her. As for the matter of equipment, that was not something that Nancy was going to talk about considering that the equipment that Henry and the group possessed was definitely top notch.

After thinking for a while, Nancy took a deep breath before she responded, "I hope that you ask for something right now. For me, I don’t really like owing people favors."

Of course Henry had already been expecting a response like this from Nancy. From the information that he had received about her, although it was not detailed, he had already realized that she was a strong lady.

Additionally, the way that she was behaving during the time that she was trying to fight the zombie, Henry got even more understanding about Nancy.

"Well, that’s up to you. I have already provided you with the information, as for what you are going to do with it, that is going to be your decision. As for the matter of me helping you and your territory to get stronger, that is a decision that you are going to make on your own.

But for now, just as I had said before, I don’t really have anything that I can ask from you. Maybe in the future, you might be in possession of something that I might need." Henry responded nonchalantly.

It was already clear that he did not care about this territory at all. Olivia’s family was present in this territory. But it was not going to be a difficult task for the entire group to be able to protect the family. So, even if the territory was destroyed, Henry was sure that they could keep Olivia’s family safe.

As for the rest of the people in the territory, Henry only cared about them simply because he cared about the future of the human race. He had his own goals, and so, for him to come and ask Nancy about this matter, it was for his own future selfish reasons.
